Greetings,
I am working on a Windows XP Professional SP2 box. In the past, I discovered
that under XP, if you configure a secondary account with administrator
privileges and password protect it, you will stop seeing the default
administrator account.
Unfortanetely, it is still there, without a password, and anyone knowing the
keystrokes to boot in safe mode can log in an hack the machine. Hence, I am
trying to find and password protect the default administrator to protect the
box.
I hope it is not too late. Any advice will be welcome. The only additional
note I have is that last time I saw this problem was witht MS Windows XP SP2
Home edition.
This is windows XP SP2 Professional edition.
Thank you.
Jean-Pierre
